This routine may work great for others, but it's one of those that take time and a patient audience.
I mean, you have to have a table, you're constantly handling and peeking at the cards (which just
seems suspicious, I would think, to most audiences), and it seems just a bit haphazard in general.
Even in the best of circumstances, this trick will last at least 5-10 minutes. Each minute that
ticks off the clock tells a savvy audience that you're killing time to find a card that matches your
announced outcome.
I would have given it only 1 or 2 stars, but some of Ian's handling
tips are worth an extra star.
In my experience, even if laymen catch you peeking they still have no clue how you did it. I was performing and one person interrupted saying they saw me look at the cards, he then said he still did not know how I did anything. It just made him more puzzled, trying to figure out how I got the cards from their positions. He even said as much afterwards. Lucky for me, most of my stuff is gambling related so I can just explain how I use shuffle tracking and peeking. Point being, it won't affect anything really that much.
Not my kind of trick
